SWF, AVI, QT, IMAGE-READY, ANIMATED GIF

hi everyb0dy

s0 i have an SWF i want t0 c0nvert t0 animated gif.
i have this way 0f d0ing it:

.c0nvert swf t0 avi;
.imp0rt avi int0 imageReady
.exp0rt as a gif

dis is t0ld t0 be g00d quality results and i wanna try it 0ut.

but all0t 0f things happen wr0ng and there are set backs...

first: Image Ready can 0nly imp0rt, “avi - (requires QuickTime 3.0 or later - http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=329599&sliceId=1)". this means i need t0 c0nvert the swf t0 an avi using QT c0decs? i g0t QT 7.2 Pr0 and when i 0pen SWF2Video t0 c0nvert the SWF t0 AVI, n0 QT c0decs are available. (SWF2Video is really g00d..i get a perfect 13sec0nd' swf t0 a 500kb vid 0n 32bits w/alpha. i think its g00d.)

basiclly thats whats screwing my day right n0w! any th0ughts ? im c0mpletly l0st :s
thanks

You do know that a .gif is suppose to low quality right?

256 distinct colors from the 24-bit RGB color space.

Yeah but it’s the only popular animated image format in use. The better alternative mng (one of the animated version of png) is hardly used.

Barely used for what?

The Mozilla browser before 2003 supports .mng files. They removed it due to the size of the package (Install) and the little usage.

Could always go with .mng-LC or .mng-VLC. Some programs have that support as it doesn’t require full support of the complexity of .mng file format.

-LC (Low complexity)
-VLC (Very Low Complexity)

Why not try APNG?

It’s supported by Firefox.

It allows for animated PNG files that work similarly to animated GIF files, while retaining backward compatibility with non-animated PNG files.

Flash to Video Encoder — -> Flv(swf) to AVI ( mpeg)
Video To flash converter — -> AVI to FLV(SWF)
VidGif — > video to animated gif

heh good luck
